' or to be moved inwardly or outwardly with reference to the lenses. This is of considerable importance for the reason that a pair of glasses not having this adjustahilty are often very troublesome, because the glasses do not properly tit the wearer, or are so close t0 the eyes that the eyelashes of the wearer touch the lenses. This' is annoying and of ten harmful, especially if the wearer is of nervous temperament. Furthermore, by eX tending the wire or post upwardly from the nose piece, above the lens connecting means, and thereby providing the forwardly pro jecting loop'4 16h, and thence extending the wire downwardly between the adjacent edges of the lenses and into the lens connecting or holding means, the-loop is well above the eyes an`d so located that it will not interfere with the proper seating of the glasses on the nose, nor can it be seen by the wearer. It is obvious that if this loop project forwardly, somewhat between or below the eyes, it would bea constant source of annoyance to the wearer, even if it would. not actually obstruct hls vision.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

1. In a pair of spectacles, lenses having their inner edges adplcent each other, a connection between the lenses holding the latter in fixed relative positions, a nose piece and a post secured to the nose piece at its lower end, and extending upwardly therefrom above the connecting means between the lenses, and thence extending downwardly between the lenses in said connecting means.

2. In a pair of spectacles, lenses having their inner edges adjacent each other and connected together at their adjacent edges so as to be held in fixed relative positions, a nose piece, a post supporting the nose piece and extending forwardly and upwardly therefrom, and having a forwardly extending loop above the connecting means, and thence extending from the loop downwardly between the lenses, the downwardly extending portion being secured to the connecting means.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto afiix my signaturenthe presence of two witnesses.
